In my experience, it absolutely does (at least if you use it idiomatically). Using the type system (esp. enums, Result and newtypes) makes a good bunch of invalid states irrepresentable.

This also helps to focus on the remaining things that could go wrong.

The integration of unit tests also lowers the barrier to just sprinkle some tests in, if you're unsure that you got an edge case right. Anf clippy (not stricly the language, but still kind of a core component) greaty helps to stay on the idiomatic track.

No silver bullet of course, but I never had so few runtime issues with any other programming language so far.

What logic bugs did you encounter the most?
